There is a new NBA rivalry budding. NBA and TNT legend Charles Barkley seems intent to take on a certain sports personality. The controversy comes amidst an ongoing back-and-forth between the two. In a surprising turn of events, this commentator, known for his criticism of LeBron James, has extended an unexpected offer to Barkley.  However, fans are discussing his intentions as the 71-year-old has famously never gotten along with Chuck.

Let’s dive deep into this blossoming rivalry. One that has a lot of name-calling with cruel intentions followed by an indecent proposal.

An offer raising eyebrows and questions of intent

The “Undisputed” show host, Skip Bayless always has polarizing takes. That naturally includes his long, long list of criticisms towards the King. However, he now finds himself in a war of words with the Round Mound of Rebound. Now, Barkley is no slouch either. He also has outlandish opinions and outspoken comments about literally everything. Furthermore, there is this recent fuss between the two, as Charles allegedly called Bayless a “Damn idiot” and Skip retaliated with a “clown” tweet.

Somehow, Skip still shocked the sports world with his recent offer to Charles Barkley. In a lengthy statement, Bayless expressed his desire to team up with Barkley on “Undisputed” and engage in heated debates on a daily basis.

He said, “Thinking about my next debate partner on Undisputed and this is what occurred to me, Charles Barkley would be my dream debate partner on Undisputed. I would dive out of bed every morning out here in Los Angeles at two o’clock in the morning to get to work with Charles.”

High praise from the long-time critic! Or is it?

The proposition, filled with sarcasm and veiled insults, hints at Skip’s underlying motives and raises questions about his true intentions.

Skip has it out for Charles Barkley

While Skip Bayless presents his offer as a seemingly genuine desire to partner with Charles Barkley, many speculate that there may be ulterior motives at play. Bayless has long been one of the biggest haters of LeBron James. The invitation may just be a business move to enhance the show’s ratings and attract more viewers.

Furthermore, Skip added, “Forget about prepping so furiously hard night after night after night for every day is Undisputed. All I’d have to do is let Charles go first and listen to him make a fool of himself.” 

Here, the nature of his invitation seems to become clearer. “I wouldn’t even have to try so please please please Charles come be this damn idiot’s debate partner. Please let me annihilate you on a daily basis.”

Whether Barkley accepts or declines the offer, it is clear that Skip’s intentions are not purely altruistic. But it’s likely that this partnership would lead to some amazing moments for the fans!
